Wearing Glasses Social Story

This social story helps children understand the importance of wearing their glasses and how they can benefit from them. It provides a gentle explanation of why glasses are necessary, encourages wearing them regularly, and emphasises the importance of taking care of them to prevent damage.
 
Ideal for parents, caregivers, and teachers, this story helps children embrace wearing their glasses with confidence and understanding, making it easier to develop this important habit in their daily routine.
 
What’s Inside?
Along with a 12-page social story, there’s also a shorter, adapted version with movable pictures to help engage children on each page.
 
Why Use This Social Story?
Social stories explain situations in simple, calm ways that are easy for kids to understand. They help children learn about social skills, expectations, and everyday situations. Social stories are especially helpful for kids on the autism spectrum or those who feel anxious when they don’t know what to expect.
